: Implementation of NAT44 (IPv4 to IPv4) and NAT64 (IPv6 to IPv4). Next-Generation Protocols & Management

Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) is the primary protocol governing how packets are routed across the internet through the exchange of routing and reachability information between edge routers. Volume II provides a deep dive into BGP-4, addressing:

This book is tailored for professionals designing, implementing, and troubleshooting large-scale enterprise and service provider networks. 2. Key Topics Covered in Volume II

The heart of this book is its exhaustive coverage of the . Doyle breaks down BGP from the ground up, covering:

For the veteran engineer, Volume II is a security blanket. When a strange routing loop allows traffic from AS 100 to reach AS 300 via AS 500 instead of your direct link, you pull Volume II off the shelf, turn to the "AS-Path Manipulation" chapter, and remind yourself of the attribute length versus content .
